"...Money doesn’t get its utility from being private (that’s just a cool feature). The core feature of money is to be the most saleable good..."
That was the bit i answered

So what part of that you disagree with? You think a few thousand people using Monero worldwide as a MoE is enough to claim it meets the criteria? You need at least tens of millions globally before that argument even starts to make sense. Even Bitcoin hasn’t crossed that threshold yet, and it has hundreds of times more adoption and mainstream recognition. My point is that Bitcoin still has a shot at reaching it (though slimmer by the day unfortunately), while Monero has no chance at all, because the very tradeoffs it made for privacy cripple its potential as money.
the tradeoffs #Monero makes for privacy DON'T cripple its potential for money.
it cripples its potential for adoption by the legacy system.
important difference.

i'm simply trying to bring nuance.
yes, bitcoin is a superior store of value.
However, for day to day transactions, and for complete monetary freedom (which is deeply tied to privacy), i think monero complements bitcoin in a way that shouldn't be overlooked.
